This song is Swift's response to the negative reputation the media has given her.
"I can make the bad guys good for a weekend" - the bad guys are the paparazzi to Swift, but are good to the "player" since association with Swift immediately gives publicity. Any publicity is good publicity and Swift knows this.
"You can tell me when it's over" - the tabloids rumor relationships are over before the couple announces it officially.
With this song Swift is portraying the way she is portrayed by the media.
It is a sarcastic jab at how she views herself and how her "ex-lovers" only wanted to be with her to increase their fame.
I applaud the brilliance in writing about how you always write about relationships.
It is expected so Swift is giving the media what they want and profiting off the attention.
Let me sleep a little longer
Maybe this will pass by
And I can hide under the bedsheets and cover-ups
And sweet little lies that I tell myself
So I can stay away from having to move
Having to change
'Cause my grades won't get better
And it will only feel better if
All of this and all of you
Will leave me to myself
So I can just take some time to find myself
Or what remains from
The trash heap of nice words
And tired encouragement
To make me feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
Let me sleep a little longer
I can't face the day
When it feels each step I take
Is like a step towards my grave
And I can't stand to hurt you
So I'll lie here instead
Safe in my apathy
Safe in my bed
I don't want to stay here
But I'm too weak alone
I only want some peace of mind
A little time on my own
So I can just have some space to find myself
Or what remains from
The trash heap of nice words
And tired encouragement
To make me feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
I'm working through the pain
To heal who remains from
The fallout before this
Took over my self-worth
I hope I feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
Maybe this will pass by
And I can hide under the bedsheets and cover-ups
And sweet little lies that I tell myself
So I can stay away from having to move
Having to change
'Cause my grades won't get better
And it will only feel better if
All of this and all of you
Will leave me to myself
So I can just take some time to find myself
Or what remains from
The trash heap of nice words
And tired encouragement
To make me feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
Let me sleep a little longer
I can't face the day
When it feels each step I take
Is like a step towards my grave
And I can't stand to hurt you
So I'll lie here instead
Safe in my apathy
Safe in my bed
I don't want to stay here
But I'm too weak alone
I only want some peace of mind
A little time on my own
So I can just have some space to find myself
Or what remains from
The trash heap of nice words
And tired encouragement
To make me feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
I'm working through the pain
To heal who remains from
The fallout before this
Took over my self-worth
I hope I feel better
'Cause I haven't felt my best in a long time
